An' that hunch wants to go around an' up to the big guns of Pecos. "This Texas Star Ranger was the feller who took me in. I'd of died like a poisoned coyote but fer him. An' he talked to me. He gave me money to git out of Pecos. Mebbe everybody'll think he helped me because he wanted me to squeal. To squeal who's who round these rustler diggin's. Wal, he never asked me.
"Yes but do you think everybody'll understand that?" said Carlisle, hurriedly, and rather felt that the worst was over. "That's just it, mamma, don't you see? How do we know what sort of gossip is being bandied about downstairs now? You know people always put the worst possible construction they can on a an episode like this!..."
One morning after roll-call the Orderly-Sergeant came up to Si and said: "There's been so much chin-music about this cooking-business that the Captain's ordered the cooks to go back to duty, and after this everybody'll have to take his regular turn at cooking. It'll be your turn to-day, and you'll stay in camp and get dinner." When Co. Q marched out for the forenoon drill.
"You've made me happier to-day'n I've been in many a week. Peg'll be all right.... Everybody'll be all right.... God bless us!" Jinnie sat up with bright, inquiring eyes. "Did you tell Peg I was to know about " "About our baby?" intervened Lafe tenderly. He dwelt lovingly on those precious words. "Yes, about your baby," repeated Jinnie. "Yes, I told 'er, dear. I said you'd want to be happy too."
I'd ha' fetched it. But I'm glad I had a chance to set him right about that scrimmage. I thought those three chaps were kind o' stuck up, but everybody'll know where to place 'em now." There was nothing like anger, or even disapproval, on Dr. Brandegee's face when he walked away; but he was muttering, "Know how to box, do they? I thought I saw something like it.
An' an', mind yer, toot that old horn good an' loud, so as everybody'll know we're a-comin'." As the automobile moved away he beamed with proud satisfaction. "Some swells we are heh? Skinny an' Chuck an' the gang'll be plumb crazy when they see us. Some class, I'll tell the world."
"No, it ain't murder; it's suicide, 'cause I'll throw the gun in there where they'll find it when they break the door in, and everybody'll think he shot himself." "It's practical," commented Hicks, but Owen protested. At last it was decided that a fourth man was necessary to do the shooting, and the "pirate" volunteered to produce him.
Two men shot up, and the rest of us without beddin', grub, money, or explanations. Them's what we need explanations. I don't exactly see how we're goin' to explain our fix to the honest hay-diggers, either. Everybody'll think some sheriff is after us, and two to one they'll put some officer on our trail, and we'll have more trouble. I believe I've had all I want for awhile."
I heard her say, 'He's trying to kill him; he's going to give him lock-jaw, and everybody'll believe it's an accident." "Lock-jaw!" Complete bewilderment was in Roger's face as he repeated the word in a whisper. "Yes, sir, I was as astonished as you. It seemed as though she must be raving, but then when she said..."
"I've been tempted to resign," he went on. "If I don't everybody'll say I'm a failure when the crash comes. But Madelene, there's something in me that simply won't let me quit." "There is," replied she; "it's your father." "Anyhow, you are the only public opinion for me." "You'll win," repeated Madelene. "I've been thinking over that whole business.
